Guys, at the risk of being a wet blanket, please no more posting of those pictures (you know what I mean) in this thread.  The topic is ZX14R engines in the C14, not scantily clad women on other bikes.  Start a new thread in Open if that's what you want to discuss.   Thanks.

Ok the boys from the Kawasaki factory here advise the C-14 will come with the upgraded ZX14 engine in 2013, and it too will be de-tuned like it is now....but will have the larger CC 1441 engine block the 2012 does this year....so maybe about 10-15 more HP depending on how they tune it will be in the offing....

Prices of course will be adjusted upward to offset the added power, but they have to keep selling them, and the way to do that is to sell MORE POWER!!!

Then we need a pool to take guess on the power (rated by the factory).

My guess is 169 hp and 114 lb ft of torque.

What is really needed it a pool to guess if they FINALLY put factory cruise control on the thing!

If factory cruise is that important, perhaps consider the purchase of a beemer

Where do I sign?  I will definitely trade up...  of course all my farkles go on the new bike.  Easier to sell the old one completely stock anyways plus who would want a silly full Muzzy Exhaust plus all the other crazy things I wasted so much money on...  lol

Io ho detto la mia,....chissà cosa dirà il traduttore Google... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
 
The motorcycle market is where the dreams of centaurs .. and this is costing us more money in order to have the same bike, always with a lot more horses, which did not serve, if the manufacturers of motorcycles were safe to sell also the usual motion model with fewer horses, and besides, perhaps, much more powerful ..
 
You say ... as!
Very easy to do, we start from our concour .. 14. Well with 156 hp
1 ° migliore.Non Aerodynamics is the weight of the bike that is the limit for performance, with 14 kgm but the air resistance plays an important role on consumption.
Overdrive 2 ° should have ratios of 5 fifth gear ... this is not the remedy for consumption here .. BMW teaches.
It is we who are dreamers and the houses do not know how to make us wake up.
Certainly this is my thinking, I am convinced that, where better to place this externalize their point of view.
So I would not want a 14 concour more powerful, but a bike that pampers me more than another in its segment you love concour 14 MY 2007.
